The Pengerang battery

As of yet I have been unable to trace the official plans of the Pengerang defended area. However with various archive documents and supplied map coordinates contained within, I was able to construct a rough layout.
A big thanks goes to those web users who sent in scans of period maps of Pengerang to the proper “Johore Grid” scale, without this information it would have been impossible to use the coordinates I had. Cheers!

Note:
The BOP at Pengerang was also used as the Flank OP for Tekong Battery.

The minefield ;-
I would like to point out the minefields exact location is still a mystery.

Its general location was taken from an eye witness account 60+ years ago, but it’s thought to have been in this area.
